Q. Do I have to pay the HOA dues?
A. Yes, all owners are required to pay the dues either as a one time annual fee or on a monthly basis. The 2008 dues are $42 per month due the first of every month. Coupon booklets were mailed to all owners in December. Homeowners who pay their annual dues in full by January 15th, will receive a one-month discount.

Q. Can I assume that my mortgage company will pay these dues out of my escrow account for me?
A. Normally, mortgage companies DO NOT pay homeowners assessments out of escrow accounts. When you initially purchased your house, the title company may have paid the first month of assessments. After this time period, it is the owner's responsibility to pay the assessment.

Q. What do the HOA dues pay for?

The dues you and every owner pay to the association cover the operating expenses related to the common area property, such as lawn maintenance, snow removal, tree trimming and/or removal, concrete repairs, parking pad maintenance, liability insurance, accounting fee, utilities expense for street lighting, property management fee, legal fees, and miscellaneous administrative expenses.
